ill makes the Speed of sound practically constant at about 660 the air Force declined to say when attempt would be although they said tests on the Psi Are but it was indicated that necessary modifications in the rocket ship might hold up the rec Ord try for a considerable of spokesmen said the ultimate top Speed of the tiny experimental rocket is anyone guess right now with its present Power they estimated it can hit changes now in the they May boost that by another 700 greater fuel Load the air Force said that changes also will permit the plane to carry a greater fuel can Fly for Only about two and on half min utes with its present Power and will give it a Speed potential of apart from the Speed the fliers will set a worlds Mark if they hit the height now planned for the tests

by Andrew Kalitinsky of Oak in a speech to the metropolitan Section of the society of automotive described four one propeller driven to and one the latter for travel in interplanetary Kalitinsky is chief Engineer of the nuclear Energy propulsion for aircraft division of the Fairchild engine and air plane which is doing research for the air Force at the Tennessee atomic the propeller plane would carry water or Mercury and make the two jets Burn Only air from the the interplanetary plane will use Hydrogen but strangely would not Burn the steam or Mercury plane would differ Little from present it will have a Turbine driven by steam or Mercury either would be heated by a Small but almost inexhaustible amount of uranium or the Load of water or Rne Cury would not be very heavy because either would be condensed end used Over atomic fuel substituted planes burning air would not differ much from the present jets they would substitute atomic Metal for the fuel they now this Metal would make the air so hot that in expanding it would drive the this is the same principle in the present Jet plane driving Power the other atomic Jet would be the present ship or flying air comes through the nose so fast it is compressed by the Speed and the fuel heats causing the interplanetary ship will have a rocket engine to carry liquid the lightest weight of All flowing out of the liquid tank the Hydrogen will expand into Gas which in turn would be heated by atomic Metal this hot Hydrogen would not its expansion would furnish a Jet to drive the army Pushbutton plane makes daily flights Bowling
